Joseph M. "Joey" Hawthorne Jr.

It's difficult to believe that Joey has been gone seven years. Just this week I was working on Sarah Rebecca Hawthorne's side of the family history. She was my great grandmother. Sadly, Joey's aunt Thelma passed away in January. When we all get to Heaven, what a joyous day that will be.

Still broken over this, Joey is an amazing guy, absolutely one in a trillion. I will never forget him singing me to sleep every night at Williams Grove. Love you Joey, fly high!

My old carpentry shop buddy, damn what good guy. They take the goods ones away for some weird reason. To his family and friends- stay strong

I worked with Johnny Cash at triple crown . Good guy ,always was in good mood and would do anything for anyone . Sometimes putting your needs before his .A true friend. You will be missed Johnny but never forgotten. Now the whole world can listen to you sing your bluegrass. God bless you my friend.

I love you joey you will be greatly missed.

Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers. To lose Joey so young has to be one of the most difficult things you will ever endure.

I remember you singing while I played the piano. You had a beautiful voice and the remembrance will always bring a smile to me. Sing in Heaven, Joey.
